Public transport: the MetroCard

We suggest you to book a MetroCard directly to your order of the New York Sightseeing Pass. By doing so, you can avoid the stress of organizing transport around New York and start your trip stress-free. Simply select your desired type of MetroCard in the “Buy now” box, found on the right side of this webpage. The MetroCard comes in three variations: a $15 MetroCard (valid for 4 rides), $25 for 8 rides, and $35 for unlimited rides throughout New York for 7 days (also called the Unlimited Ride MetroCard). If you decided to pick the $15 or $25 MetroCard, you can reload money onto the card once the balance has been used up.

The MetroCard allows you to use the following public transport in New York:

New York City Transit subways

Local buses

MTA Staten Island Railway

MTA Bus Company

All PATH stations*

JFK-AirTrain

Westchester Bee Line Buses

Roosevelt Island Tram

NICE Bus (Nassau Inter-County Express)

TOP TIP

Children (up to 112 cm tall) may ride public transport for free. Each adult may take up to 3 children for free.

*the use of PATH stations is not included in the Unlimited Ride MetroCard for 7 days.
